Genetic variants in alcohol dehydrogenase-1B (ADH1B) and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) genes modulate acetaldehyde removal upon alcohol ingestion. Although these genetic vulnerabilities have been linked to higher esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risks, it is unclear whether they also...
